Boise State: Quarterback Joe Southwick threw for a season-high 311 yards and three touchdowns during the Broncos' 32-29 victory against New Mexico. Southwick, a San Ramon Valley High grad, had thrown just four career touchdowns entering the game.

Ohio State: Urban Meyer became the third Buckeyes coach to start 5-0 in his first season. Carol Widdoes and Earle Bruce also did it in 1944 and 1979.

Savannah State: It's one thing to give up 84 points to Oklahoma. It's quite another to allow 56 to Howard. The Tigers dropped their fourth straight game to open the season, 56-9 against Howard. Savannah State has been outscored 240-42 this year.

Army: The Black Knights, who came into the week leading the nation in rushing with 399 yards a game, were kept to 273 yards on the ground in a 23-3 loss to Stony Brook. It was Army's first loss to an FCS opponent since 2009.
